Boat Lane Caravan and Camping

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 8.4 285 reviews

Peaceful Nottinghamshire park, a 10-minute walk from the River Trent
Half an hour's drive from Nottingham; 45 minutes from Sherwood Forest
Pubs with food, boat hire and fishing within 40 minutes' walk

Fancy a riverside retreat in Robin Hood country? Boat Lane Caravan and Camping has a berth for you. A 40-minute walk to the banks of the River Trent and a pair of popular pubs with grub, this site sits on a spot of prime Nottinghamshire countryside. They keep things simple at Boat Lane, allowing you enjoy the peace of its spacious tree-lined meadow with minimum fuss. There are hot showers in the well-maintained washrooms, a washing-up area for your pots and pans and everyone has access to a communal fridge for perishables (or Prosecco...). Dogs are welcome. The owners recommend a 10-minute walk to the pub at Bleasby (three minutes by car) or a 40-minute riverside stroll to the pub in Friskerton, followed by a boat ride down and/or across the Trent. The Domesday Book records a ferry crossing here in the 11th-century, so why not make like a medieval in a rowing boat? If you’d rather explore the waters without tiring yourself, make for Gunthorpe (a quarter of an hour away) for a river cruise or take your rods to Bleasby lake (a mere three minutes away) for day permit fishing.

Electric electric grass and earth touring caravan pitch

Liked: Very clean campsite. Lovely facilities, e.g. clean toilets and showers and a sharing fridge/sink area. The manager who lives on site is very friendly and gets to know everyone who enters the site, nothing is too much trouble.

Disliked: Could do with a bit more of a play area for children (There are 3 swings off a tree.)

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked: The quiet setting of fields all around and the village up the road. The road itself wasn’t too noisy or busy.
Nice flat pitches that seemed to drain well during the rains we had.
Bird song, big skies and dark nights.
The hot water was hot and consistent in the showers and washing up area.
The toaster, microwave and fridge freezer were a lovely touch in the washing up room.
Toilets and showers were basic but clean and there was always loo roll.
Martin was really friendly and helpful when we arrived. His dog, Luca, also helped welcome us with a waggy tail.
The electricity supply was consistent and reliable.
The site felt safe.

Disliked: The toilet and shower block is in real need of modernising. We would even go as far as to say it needs completely replacing. The shower stalls were small with no room to put your kit so that it didn’t get wet. Not all the doors closed properly or even locked.
There were three toilets and four showers in each section for the whole site. It wasn’t enough. Even the gents was queueing at 8 in the morning. We stayed for a long weekend and it was already struggling to cope with the footfall. We couldn’t imagine what it will be like in the summer holidays. Only two sinks in each block to wash hands, clean teeth etc with limited space to move past people made it a very cramped experience and again people were queuing just to wash their hands after using the toilet.
Over two days we watched close to 80 pitches check in. It felt very ad hoc and cramped although we were told which way we had to pitch our tents and park our cars - we watched some people being asked to re-orientate themselves as they were pitching! Hopefully with the cash that was taken in over those two days for those 80 pitches it can go towards improving the toilet and shower facilities.
The site staff bickered and argued between themselves in front of customers.
Noise wasn’t managed on site. One night it finally stopped at 3am.
Dogs were not on leads.
Be aware there is no on site shop.

Local attractions

A major hub since the days of Robin and his Merry Men, Nottingham (half an hour by car) still draws the crowds. Tour the castle and the caves, take a glass of ale in Ye Trip To Jerusalem (one of many contenders for the oldest pub in England crown), skate on ice at Motorpoint Arena and see how far law and order’s come since the Sheriff’s time in the National Justice Museum. Sherwood Forest, three quarters of an hour away, harbours no brigands these days; within the nature reserve, country park and Sherwood Pines Forest Park you will find 450 acres of wildlife with among ancient oak trees and a wealth of biking and walking trails taking you through them. Traverse the tree-tops on ropes and wires at Go Ape, or let the kids loose on Robin Hood’s Hideout, an acclaimed natural play area; on your way back, call in at Ferry Farm Country Park a quarter of an hour from the site, to pet the pigs, feed the lambs, zoom about on go-karts and get adventurous on the adventure playground. If the ancient forest’s fired you up about history, make for Newark (25 minutes) with its castle, National Civil War Centre and Air Museum. Or to feel as if you stepped back in time, take the 45-minute trip to Wollaton Hall, where herds of red and fallow deer roam round a lake in the grounds of a stately Elizabethan mansion.
